This is the level of stupid you get after eating all the lead paint in your house and then hitting yourself in the head with a claw hammer for an hour.
It was a slow day in Congress it seems.
I don't know how to be more clear. Stop listening to people who are telling us to "pick our battles." This is the fucking battle. It's here now. Each one of these acts is an attack in that battle. Either get in the fight or get the fuck out of our way.
